National Estimates of Children Missing Involuntarily or for Benign Reasons. [PDF]
Provides information on the numbers and characteristics of two groups not often recognized in the literature on missing children: children involuntarily missing because they were lost or injured and those missing because of a benign explanation such as a

Effects of pedigree errors on the efficiency of conservation decisions [PDF]
Conservation schemes often aim at increasing genetic diversity by minimizing kinship, and the best method to achieve this goal, when pedigree data is available, is to apply optimal contributions.

Urban Land Cover Classification with Missing Data Modalities Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Automatic urban land cover classification is a fundamental problem in remote sensing, e.g. for environmental monitoring. The problem is highly challenging, as classes generally have high inter-class and low intra-class variance.

Poor description of non-pharmacological interventions:Analysis of consecutive sample of randomised trials [PDF]
Objectives To evaluate the completeness of descriptions of non-pharmacological interventions in randomised trials, identify which elements are most frequently missing, and assess whether authors can provide missing details. Design Analysis of consecutive

Visual units and confusion modelling for automatic lip-reading [PDF]
Automatic lip-reading (ALR) is a challenging task because the visual speech signal is known to be missing some important information, such as voicing. We propose an approach to ALR that acknowledges that this information is missing but assumes that it is
